[quote=Anonymous]New study confirms what we all know....there has been massive turnover in lower level college admissions staff

Some of this is not new and the study does not show a time series to show if the turnover is increasing....but many in admissions think so

https://www.cupahr.org/surveys/research-briefs/the-higher-ed-admissions-workforce-april-2023/

"71 percent of coordinators and counselors have been in their jobs for just three years or less."

Median age of admissions counselors/coordinators at universities is 30

Study also concludes: "Black employees are currently well represented within the admissions workforce overall in comparison to U.S. bachelor’s degree holders"

"The representation of people of color notably declines from coordinators and counselors (31% people of color) to heads of admissions (23% people of color)."

Median pay is $44k per year for admissions counselors.

With that much turnover (rivals waitstaff at restaurants), and what some here have posted as minimum wage seasonal jobs reading applications, you really wonder whether the best and the brightest are reading our kids's applications.
